   Forbes.com

Swain, chief of the Indiana State Attorney General's Revenue Division is urging his counterparts in other states to do. Indiana pioneered the approach and in an article just published in Tax Analyst's State Tax Notes ('Tax Ills Behind the Mills-- The Advancement of Puppy Protection') Swain lays out the case for the Al Capone model."
